Increased Volume

Storage Ideal for Memory Loss
In addition to the visual and audial benefits, the Additional Handset has a built-in phonebook with a capacity to store up to one hundred telephone numbers. This will be ideal for anybody with memory issues, as it eradicates the requirement to recall phone numbers or locate telephone books. The numbers will be safely stored in the phone, always ready for easy dialling.
ETS Compliant
Quality is guaranteed with the Additional Handset for the PowerTel 1700, as the phone complies with the European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) EN 300381 'Telephony for hearing impaired people; Inductive coupling of telephone earphones to hearing aids'.
